Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
• From Manhattan to Montauk, a new trail is taking shape (southforker.com) — Plans for the Long Island Greenway include a major trail section running to Brentwood State Park and another stretching from Brentwood to Riverhead, promising new off-road biking and walking options for local residents. With design work funded and initial construction expected to start in late 2026, the project aims to improve safety, recreation, transportation access, and local business activity across Suffolk County.
• Mineola Mustangs prepare for 2026 competitive season (longislandpress.com) — Mineola High School's champion marching band will kick off its 2026 competitive season with a show at Brentwood High School on Sept. 20, giving local families a chance to see their new production, "Grim." Fresh from an intensive summer camp, the Mustangs are aiming to defend their New York State Field Band Conference title this fall.
• Is Universal Health Coverage Within Reach in New York? (easthamptonstar.com) — A new analysis of the proposed New York Health Act suggests the Brentwood School District could cut its health care costs by about 84 percent if the single-payer plan is adopted. Advocates and critics fiercely debate whether the bill would stabilize local budgets or require unsustainable new taxes, but the outcome could significantly affect school and property tax pressures in Brentwood.
